A complex housing market has caused U.S. homeowners to increase their spending on home renovations. Remodeling companies have seen an uptick in sales as homeowners vie to save money and bring their dream home to life. However, not all renovation companies are built the same.
According to Clever, a technology-driven real estate platform, 53% of homeowners who hired a contractor for their most recent renovation went over budget, and 46% experienced significant delays. Their visions of fresh, upgraded rooms and accessories quickly faded amid sawdust and mounting bills.
EatGatherLove, however, has emerged as a standout in an industry often criticized for poor service and unmet expectations.
“Our culture is grounded in integrity, craftsmanship and partnership. For customers, this translates to a personalized experience that feels boutique – high-touch service with quality materials and fast project turnaround,” said Chief Development Officer Dan Bish.
For more than 25 years, the award-winning brand has offered kitchen refacing and home consultation services in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia, and now it has brought its revolutionary concept to the U.S., benefiting customers and franchises alike.
Touted as a “budget-friendly” option, EatGatherLove’s craftsmanship and service are still top-notch. To kick off the process, an experienced design consultant meets homeowners in their home and evaluates the existing kitchen. Then, the consultant helps them choose styles, finishes and colors from a range of high-quality options, including kitchen doors, drawer fronts, countertops, sinks, fixtures and other accessories. Finally, skilled teams complete the project with minimal disruption, allowing homeowners to return to a clean, reimagined space in no time.
“EatGatherLove specializes in premium kitchen refacing – not handyman work,” said Bish. “Refacing offers customers a dramatic kitchen transformation in just three to five days. This reduces labor, eliminates the need for showrooms and gives franchisees a faster path to cash flow and scale. Unlike traditional remodelers, we provide our franchisees with national vendor relationships, centralized digital marketing, an incredible tech platform and an inside sales team that sets appointments.”
Committed to franchisee growth and success, the company offers comprehensive training and a proven, award-winning system that handles lead management and marketing through a dedicated call center. Recently, the company launched new marketing videos focused on customer acquisition and franchise development, giving candidates a clear picture of its high-end refacing model and positioning. EatGatherLove’s vendor partnerships also help keep overhead low and operations efficient.
“Franchisee feedback has been outstanding, and these tools are helping them convert more estimates into closed jobs,” said Bish.
For those interested in tapping into a booming market, there is significant opportunity ahead.
“We currently have seven awarded territories across five franchisees, with a new location in Orlando expected to be finalized soon,” Bish said. “Market availability is wide open. Any U.S. metro area with a population of 500,000 or more is a candidate for development.”
With a streamlined model and strong support, EatGatherLove helps entrepreneurs transform kitchens, and their careers.
